[Paleopsych] fanatics

[Steve]

It's pretty hard to assess the state of the American
whole right now because the data comes from polls 
that have all sorts of biases.

It seems to me that a lot of people have been
damaged but don't recognize it, and that a lot
of people will persist in supporting certain people
because of value appeals.

>>If the fanatics, both here and elsewhere,
are seen to be damaging the whole, then
they will be extruded from the mass :-)<<

--We can only hope so. For that to happen, they must
be seen to be damaging BY the mass, not just TO it. At
what point does species patriotism overtake religious
nationalism or historical grudge matches? Perhaps the
point where the wellbeing of the species itself is
threatened?
